the petty policy Of Powell and ''ths

Cleveland Plain Dealer, April 8, 1885,
The message Of Governor Foraker to the
Legislature, calling attention to the
financial affairs Of the State discloses q
financial condition that ought to have
careful consideration and prudent legis.
lative action. A state Of affairs has
com. about that requires prompt and in.
telligent treatment to avert very serious
evils, and the members Of the Leyisla.
turs ought to give Forsker's Suggestions
very careful consideration.
These suggestions will, we think. meet
general approval - statesmanlike, wise
and proper.
The Governor is sound in this views.
Cincinnati Enquirer, April 8, lSS8-The
message Of Governor Foraker to the
General Assembly on the condition of

his message on finance and taxation he

himself to the Legislature in the inter
est of the people. The message 10 .
plain, business like statement of the
points, and deserves the attention Of all
people.
Columbus Times, April 7, 1885. Let the
Legislature follow his suggestions, and

Cleveland Plain Dealer, April 10. 1857
